      Food for the World - Enough for Everyone

World Vision ask and answer the question “Is there enough food?”

“Cereals—wheat, rice, maize, etc—are the staple food in most people’s diets and because they are easily traded, they are a good guide to overall food production. The world produces around 300 kilograms of grain per person per year—enough to feed everyone if the food was shared equally and used efficiently.”

So if it is not lack of food. What makes people go to bed hungry? I am being deliberately dumb here.
